ALPHABET SOUP//TYPEFACE: Development and progress crit:

Initial design ideas/ layout designs:










Development of ideas: Above shows some initial design ideas I came up with, reflecting the words chilled and laid back. I found inspiration in books from the library and also the russian constructivist and bauhaus movements. I selected key aspects from a range of these designs, then combined and developed them into the letter forms you will see below.


These images just simply show how.  have constantly evaluated my work . Highlighting features that need further work.


Response to crit:

The peer feedback I received was very helpful, pointing me in the right direction on how to communicate my message to the viewer. I took what they said and will then incorporate there input into my final design. Some features where to round off the sharp edges of the ascender to give the design even more of a chilled laid back feel, also keep the weight of stroke the same throughout to make the letters work well as a set.  

Action plan:
  • Generate some ideas for the letters "z" and "v"
  • Remove sharp corners at the top of ascenders
  • Digitalise glyphs.
